    Six cases of sporadic Leptospira canicola infection were discovered by means of serological tests between 1954-1955 in Yamaguchi prefecture.
    These patients were all farmers, and had high fever, headache and myalgia as the common manifestations, but no jaundice. They all suffered from iridocyclitis within 20 days -11 months after the onset of disease, which led them to the ophthalmologist. The definite diagnosis was then settled serologically.
    In 2 cases the contaminated urine from infected dogs was incriminated as the cause of contact infection. These dogs with latent infection were suffering from nephritis, and from one of them a strain of Leptospira canicola was isolated. Their sera showed antibody titer 1: 10, 000 for L. canicola and 1: 1, 000 for L. icterohemorrhagica by agglutination-lysis reaction. Only these patients out of their family members took care of the dogs, i. e.: feeding and washing the animals and cleaning the kennels. No Leptospira was detected from the other members.

    Two serologically characteristic strains were included among the 251 strains of E. Coll O-124 which had been isolated by the author from 1953 to June, 1957.
    The biochemical and serological properties of these two strains, i. e. No.41 and No.85 are reported in this paper.
    The two strains were isolated from asymptomatic carriers in 1955 and their biochemical properties are shown in Tab. 1. Their somatic antigens were identical and the relationship of somatic antigens between the standard strain of O-124 and the two strains may be regarded as follows:
    Standard strain: O-124a, 124b: B17
    No.41 and No.85: O-124a, 124c: B17
    A representative example of this relationship is shown in Tab. 2.
